Credits to our Sources and Related Links

 

We try to list the major sources used in our research of photographic history, fashion history and related services. 

 

Use these shortcuts to topics we researched:

All in one place.

References For Our Photo Dating Research: You will notice that each site appears to be about some other topic having nothing to do with or possibly related. That is because we may have gleaned only a sentence or a paragraph that could be used in identifying the date of a photography.  Talk about needle in a haystack. A lot of reading for a tid-bit, but we put it altogether here for you.
